[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter Franks:
Hi guys

Little help needed.. I've had the phone since Aug 09. Had loads of problems with it, but have now decided after nearly a year to update phone as I've lost all notification lights, the charging light, etc. etc. It's not a great phone at the moment!

Donwloaded latest ROM from the HTC site, plugged in phone, and it wouldn't work. Something about the abl, or acb? Wouldn't connect properly when searching etc.

Anyway round it, Tried disconnecting from net, but figure it needs the connection. But didn't work either way.

Is the latest Orange update the one to go for? Does it help the lousy signal, the frozen text messages?

When it says you lose all data, can someone clarify that for me please? Numbers, Sim card info, Phone numbers info, Pics, Music, Email set ups? etc. etc.?

Thanks

Which ROM have you tried?

If you haven't tried it yet, try the VillainROM 12 I think its pretty stable.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter Franks:
Hi, its the latest one for Orange on the HTC forum, but that's not the problem.

It's the fact I can't get the programme to take. It's that ab thing that keeps stopping me and the ROM just exits..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erasmux:
If your ROM is rooted then you shouldn't install the HTC official updates, instead look at the developers forum here and try ROMs from there. For example VillainROM 12 and many others are based on the latest official HTC update.

If your ROM is not rooted, I am not sure what the problem is. Assuming you don't want to root it, maybe you can get support either from HTC or from the shop you bought it at.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Have you got the latest HTC Sync installed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter Franks:
Hi

Thanks for your replies.

No, not rooted, not anything, since I got it 12 months ago. Other than plugging into pc to transfer pics which always worked. HTC sync? Not aware of?

Never updated Rom ever, but its given me so much grief over the last year, I get maybe 2 web pages and then it freezes for ages and the green line sits for 10 mins before another page. Is that the nature of this phone? Would an update make a difference to that problem?

I downloaded few apps the other night and removed them and now all lights notifications and charging lights don't work. Typing is so laggy and painful to do. Texts won't scroll for minutes...

I just can't understand how everyone says this phone is so great?

I know its a year old now but its always been like this.

Any help much appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Install HTC Sync and you're problems should go away, though you may need to boot into fastboot and install the driver for that too for the update to work. I can describe that if necessary.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter Franks:
Thanks again ...

Fastboot? Lost me on that one

What does the Rom update erase?

Will try this tomorrow and see if I can get sync on there
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
You lose everything, but considering the problems you're having this may not be a bad thing. You can backup certain data without root access (such as texts i believe) but that is about it. Check out SMS Backup & Recovery for that. HTC Sync will do contacts (though you should really be using Google contacts by now rather than phone or sim).

Having said that you should lose nothing on your SD card, but I would format that after putting the new system on just in case (so backup to computer etc).

I'll explain fastboot if it's needed. Post back detailed error messages if you get any after installing HTC Sync.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter Franks:
Thank you for your help. I will attempt that when I'm at home, can't do at work.

Forgot to ask, have many others had the phone switching itself off problem? It still does this, and only when you remove battery will it switch on again. No idea why, but you can press every button and nothing doing till battery is removed. Love to know what causes that...

I'm a great ad for this phone huh.:cool:

Hi all,

I used to have a handheld (IPAQ, windows 3.0 OS) and had thsi old game i like a lot.

So now I have a HTC HD2 with a windows 6.5 OS and installed the game fine...... However it doesn't start after some "flickering" of the screen. the game icon is in my "games"folder allright and I can even click on it (no kidding) but it doesn't start or starts on the background but G** knows where.....

Please help ;o)

Thanks appreciate it

I
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
What game is it?:confused:

Maybe the game can't be displayed on the WVGA resolution?
[HD2 General] izelgv:
|t's an card game (bridge) nothing flashy or needing video settings or programm. (Gradsoft)

thanks

[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
Do you, by any chance, have "BridgePower"? It looks like it's incompatible with WM6+, and I think that is why you can't run it.

Here's a site showing 3 games of Bridge. I think your best bet is Omar Sharif Bridge, but the full version is $14.99 (USD). But I'm not exactly sure if it will work on WM6.5+, so I think you can try the demo first.

It seems like not many people are developing Bridge games anymore because the ones I see are all for WM6 and below.
[HD2 General] izelgv:
start

Hi,

Thanks for all your trouble. It's T Bridge from GRADSOFT. It worked fiine on windows Mobile 3.** on my HTC HD@ I have windows Mobile 6.** right ?

The thing is it installed well and I even find it in the games folder and all. Problem is it startas for just a second (like a flash) and then it's gone. The gradsoft guy said to buy an upgrade....but i am being carefull

E
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
If it was designed for Windows Mobile '3', then it almost certainly won't work.
[HD2 General] izelgv:
ok ??

MMMM thanks anyway although I'd like to know why not of course

E
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
All of these (plus more) can cause a program to just close on start up:

Operating system dependencies will have changed/been removed (i.e. missing files)

I think 2003 and prior versions don't have .net 2.0 without an update, so the basic version will be 1.1, too many differences between them to be 100% stable with every app.

Dynamic link libraries dependencies will have changed/been removed in newer OS versions.

Screen resolutions changed/support for older ones removed in newer OS versions.

Processor architectures/speeds either not compatible or too fast for the program to work correctly, causing 'fatal' errors and closing the program.

[Legend General] idasfa38:
i'm thinking about buying the legend and i heard you can root it. i was just wondering wat r the benefits of rooting the legend because you when you root other phones it's because of their ROMs but the legend runs Android 2.1 which is great. So what else can you do with it?
[Legend General] kylecore:
the benefits of rooting a legend would be the same as rooting any phone. so its not just the legend in specific.

look up the specifics of benefits of rooting in general, not just on the legend.

also you can only root the legend if its running 1.31, if you get one from virgin mobile or bell they will be running 2.03.

this isn't android 1.3 or 2.03 its the boot loader version or something like that
[Legend General] Learners Lisence:
storage readings

Is the ability to install applications into whichever drive one wants one of the benefits ?

When i install apps now the phone doesnt ask me which drive. I was checking via quick system info and I got the following results--

Internal storage -total 185 mb free -57mb

System storage - total 240mb free- 41 mb

I think the readings are not good ?

Do I have too many apps ?

How can I improve my situation ?

Thanks
[Legend General] jul644:
.

there fine it wont slow down your phone or anything its he amount of room that have to install apps if you root your phone u can install them to your sd card
[Legend General] BesFen:
beside rooted your Legend, you need to apply app2sd so yo can install app to sd. with darktremorapp2sd also you can move dalvik cache to sd. I just use my internal storage about 25 Mb only, I installed mote than 20 app there:D:D:D.
[Legend General] Learners Lisence:
Thanks Besfen and jul644 for providing useful info.

I uninstalled many apps and I found a remarkable improvement in the first storage but the system storage remained the same. How are the two different from each other ?

Yes, the the number of apps installed did not affect the performance of the phone in anyway even before i uninstalled them.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Nick N:
I checked the FAQ and did not see anything...

I am getting bored with my Moment, last week I flashed 2.2 on the Vogue just to see what it is like. Glad to see you guys are still developing on it! We don't even have 2.2 yet, just the FroYo JIT.

If I remember correctly you have to flash Windows Mobile back on the Vogue before you can activate it, right?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jadenj5:
yes that is correct. And how are you getting board with your moment.Just wondering cuz thats a phone i really want
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
I don't know how sprint does it, but this has been my experience on verizon:

I have a touch and a touch pro. I switch back and forth maybe twice a week via the website and never bother dialing activation. my guess is: the first time your activate a phone on your number, you have to call activation to get the akey sorted out. after that, the akey should never change, so you can switch back and forth between those two devices without having to call activation just by switching your esn with the carrier.

again, i'm on verizon, and this could definitely be carrier specific, but it's painless to test for yourself.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Sprint is different after being activated the phone dials #777 then that starts the provisioning I know dzo had some script that could be used for activation but I don't know what became of it
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Nick N:
I am a ROM flashing junkie! ;)

SDX has been keeping me busy with ROMs for the Moment, but I remember the initial excitement with putting Android on a phone that was never meant to go further than Windows Mobile 6.1. Good times. :D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] superflysocal:
a script to activate would be awesome.

so is this possible: set up the sprint touch with android the way i want it (phone, internet and everything working), then change the phone out and put my wife's account on that touch android phone. or would i have to go back to winmo before putting wife's phone number/account on it?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
at this moment it would be to flash back to windows mobile activate it and switch back
[Touch CDMA Android Development] badumppssh:
i was able to activate my phone from myns warm donut using *228 option 1 on verizon after a whole mess of flashing to get my gps to work. i activated my old phone during the whole process so i wouldnt miss any calls. i ended up with nfs fan 6.5 and i couldnt activate my phone, so i tried it on warm donut from my sd card for the heck of it and it worked. not sure if its rom specific or what not but that worked for me...hope that helps

I have just found out that I can't send text messages, I can receive them just not send them. From talking to the phone company they have asked me to make sure my message setting number is correct but they couldn't tell me where it was and I couldn't find it.

Apparently this number is used when sending text, can anyone help by letting me know where this setting is.

I don't believe it is the rom or radio as since I found the issue I have been trying all types of roms and reverted my radio back down to 26I, no joy.

Currently I have CyanogenMod 5.0.8 installed

[G1 General] akapoor:
I had a similar issue some time ago. I remember trying to fiddle with various settings, but that didn't really do me any good.

I ended up wiping the phone and restoring all my SMS/Contacts/etc. Worked like a charm.
[G1 General] zenity:
Just had this issue, after stupidly messing about in the very area I need to be in to fix it, ( pressed update smsc number with no number typed in, could receive messages, but not send them), full data+cache wipe did not fix this, nor did flashing other roms, since the SMSC reset wipes it from SIM I believe.

Looking up the correct SMSC number for my network and entering this fixed it however, and sms behaviour is back to normal.

So thanks for this, and remember folks, no matter how smart you think you are, all it takes is one stupid moment to remind you, you are just like everyone else :D

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PSULightingGuy:
Hey everyone, so I'm just starting to buckle down and learn more about Android Mods. Here's my latest question. I have a few zip files that I always flash on top of a new ROM. These include at the moment, a Rotary Lockscreen and the DroidX boot animation, possibly a circle battery shortly.

My question is, would there be a simple way to merge these zip files so I only have to flash one every time I load a new ROM, or even better, load these into a ROM file before flashing?

Is it as simple as opening the ZIPs, moving the files from one to the other (keeping the directory structure intact) and re-zipping the lot? Or is there something more complicated I need to look at...

Thanks in advance!

Edit: A quick look in one of the files revealed a .xml file with some references to the files to be installed. I assume I would have to edit the .xml to include all the instructions from each mod, but if that's all it takes, that should be easy... Again, I ask all of you... Am I missing something?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] campchi:
i think you need to edit the meta file and the xml file, but this can be done though. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeykrim:
what is the full name of the .xml file you see?

the recovery reads a file called update-script or updater-script inside the zip file META-INF/com/google/android/ directory. you memorize that directory path after messing with enough zip files!

that file tells the recovery what actions to take with which files. for list of very basic commands for this update-script file, i have a guide - http://forum.sdx-developers.com/android-2-1/creating-an-update-zip-list-of-commands/

it is possible to merge update.zip files but its important to understand their structure and how the commands are executed.

also signing .zip files is a whole different topic...

hopefully this helps get you going in the correct direction!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chandlerw88:
Since all the files have this could you copy and paste the codes inside them into one file?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
You would want to read up a little bit and make sure you understand the commands, but yes. You do not want to copy the entire set of commands, just the particular needed lines. Often you don't need to change anything because the script may just say copy this entire system directory and everything in it will go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdnbass:
It's pretty basic.

Move all the files into the same zip delete everything in meta-inf except the update script.

Adjust the script accordingly, pay attention to syntax or better yet just look at all the individual scripts and put them together, then remove dupes

As for zip signing..

This is what you need

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PSULightingGuy:
OK, thanks! This has all helped a lot and I think I nailed the basics that I was shooting for, just haven't been able to test yet since no need to re-flash a working ROM.

My next question is, would there be a way to force files INSIDE an APK? Trying to add a different battery meter (have the images) to framework-res.apk and would love to do that from a boot script... Ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagnusRagnarok:
yes, its called 7-zip and its your new best friend in this battle. heres how i learned.

i started ripping apart the things that i liked, including roms themselves. now find an update zip that has the files inside the folders that you will need to add, and you can then recycle that update zip. here it is plain and simple:

1.use 7zip to VIEW; NEVER UNZIP the files(forget about windows zips:()

2.check what folder the apps you will be putting in belong in

3.put them in their corresponding folders(some apps are tricky when you need to install their libs too and you dont know it)

4.erase the 3 bottom files in your meta-inf folder

5.resign the rom

6.verify the sign(look for the new certs)

7.move to sd

8.flash rom

9.have a pop,beer, or w/e your vice.(my fave is cherry coke:D)

if you need help getting started feel free to pm. you dont know who i am, but ive been thru this process many times.

​
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PSULightingGuy:
Actually, that's not quite what I'm talking about... I want a flashable zip that will add certain images (the battery meter) to the INSIDE of a .apk file that already exists on the device. Not sure if it's possible, but if so, I'd love to know... If not, I'll try pulling the .apk and using 7-zip...
